Comparison and Analysis ( Practice 6)

I used the database Global Issues In Context to do my reasearch on Impacts and Implications of Nuclear Energy. I choose to use this database to because when i was looking through the the choice of database from the school libary resourse this database caught my attention by its name, Global Issues In Context. Impacts and Implications of Nuclear Energy is a issue which not only a a few countries are involved in but all, which means that its a global issue. So this firstly caught my attention, later when i went in to look into this database i realised that it did have information on nuclear energy which was very useful for my topic. This database has information on global perspectives on issues of international importance and current world events and topics in the news related to these issues, so i used this database as i felt that this database would best searve my research need.

I think that the data base is a good tool to use in my reasearch as it has articles, viewpoints of people, statistics , books and many more other useful features. It is effective tool to use but i wont say that using database alone is enough to do my research because it got selected articles from a website only it does not allow me to view the whole website, where i might get a better piece of information which would best suite my research. I would prefer to use both the search engine and the databese for my research. In the research for Impacts and Implications of Nuclear Energy in overall the databese would be enough as i already got a background information on the topic and i can use the data base to scope down on what i exactly need. But if i had a research topic on something which i am not familier with the Search engine will definetely better as it gives me all kind of information for me to understand the topic itself.
